Synopsis
After a few
centuries, the only death ‘big enough’ is a human sacrifice. I know because I’m
an animator. My name is Anita Blake.
Working for
Animators, Inc. is just a job—like selling insurance. But all the money in the
world wasn’t enough for me to take on the particular job Harold Gaynor was
offering.
Somebody else did,
though—a rouge animator. Now he’s not just raising the dead... he’s raising
Hell. And it’s up to me to stop it.
my Thoughts (review)
Having
put Jean-Claude on his thrown as Master of the City, Anita has been doing
everything she can to not talk to him. Until she needs his help in finding
someone that will hopefully point them into the direction of who set the flesh
eating zombie lose.
But
all’s not good when it comes to what the person who paid for that zombie and
Anita finds out the hard way that Voodoo isn’t where she needs to be though it
could help her out greatly. The man of the hour wants Anita to raise the zombie
she’s refused to do, so in come a voodoo witch and a little magic that makes
Anita do what they want—to an extent. What they don’t realise is that Anita is
a necromancer and the dead are her playthings.
Yeah,
okay, so it may be a little early for me to say that, but this is the book that
she gets told that she’s a necromancer. She saves the day (obviously, hell,
it’d kinda suck for a second book if she lost) and all that, along with a trip
out with Jean-Claude and a long and bloody road to freedom.
There
is some other stuff to that happens throughout the book, they chase a
flesh-eating zombie and....well, read and you shall see. I found this one
interesting, and high on action though I can’t remember if I truly enjoyed it
all those years ago, but I’m guessing it didn’t suck or I wouldn’t have
continued the series. It’s also a book that I only ever read again for things
like this. it wasn’t information that you needed though it helped greatly with
the rest of the books if you have what she is, but then again, Hamilton retell
you it all anyway, so it never matters when you pick up the series, all the
info is there and waiting for you, though it does help to follow the story,
especially in the later books.
